Factors to Consider

Marvell’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the solid demand for its networking products, primarily across the data center and 5G infrastructure end markets.

On its fourth-quarter conference call, Marvell stated that it anticipates strong sequential revenues in the first quarter, driven by the substantial contribution from the cloud data center end market, accelerated 5G adoptions in the United States and other regions and broad growth across multiple products.

Additionally, 5G and cloud product ramp-ups and revenues from the recently acquired Inphi Corporation business might have favored MRVL’s overall performance during the quarter under review.

Record bookings and the ramp-up of multiple Ethernet design wins in upcoming vehicles are anticipated to have driven revenues significantly in the fiscal first quarter. The consumer and industrial businesses are likely to have put up an impressive show in the quarter under review.

However, certain ongoing supply-chain challenges are anticipated to have acted as headwinds, which might have curbed Marvell’s ability to fully meet the increase in demand for some of its product offerings.

Marvell expects the first-quarter non-GAAP gross margin of 65-66%, while non-GAAP operating expenses are estimated between $430 million and $435 million.
